		<title>Santorum suggests abortion causes breast cancer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday suggested that Susan G. Komen for the Cure shouldn&#8217;t provide grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings because abortions cause breast cancer, a false claim that has been repeatedly debunked. The candidate told Fox News host Chris Wallace that he didn&#8217;t agree with the Komen Foundation reversing itself last week and making Planned Parenthood eligible for future grants. &#8220;I&#8217;ve taken the position as a presidential candidate and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cutting-edge cocktails light up New York</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re not allowed to light a cigarette in New York bars, but there&#8217;s nothing to stop a bartender from setting your cocktail on fire with a 815 degrees Celsius (1,500 degrees Fahrenheit) poker. In fact, the red hot rod is just the tip of the mad scientist treatment meted out to drinks at Booker &#038; Dax, a new Manhattan drinking hole that&#8217;s taking cocktail trends to extremes. Dave Arnold, culinary technology director at the French [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A 100-year-old British Indian man who claims to be the world&#8217;s oldest marathoner was all smiles after completing a 10-kilometre run at the Hong Kong marathon on Sunday. Born in 1911 and affectionately nicknamed the &#8220;Turbaned Torpedo&#8221;, Fauja Singh finished the race in just over one hour and 34 minutes, organisers told AFP, raising HK$200,000 ($25,800) for the charity Seeing Is Believing. &#8220;The weather was very pleasant, I enjoyed the race very much,&#8221; he was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Republicans ‘struggling to woo Latinos’</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Astrid Silva came to the United States aged four with her parents from Mexico in search of &#8220;the American dream.&#8221; She&#8217;s 23 now and fears being deported every day. She is one reason Republicans are struggling to woo Latinos &#8212; key voters in heavily Hispanic states like Nevada, Colorado and Arizona &#8212; despite the economic downturn, experts say. Ahead of Saturday&#8217;s caucuses in Nevada, Republicans trumpeted how the economic crisis &#8212; which has hit the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greek leaders in emergency meeting for debt deal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos held an emergency meeting with political allies on Sunday after hours of &#8220;superhuman&#8221; negotiations with EU-IMF bailout auditors failed to produce a rescue deal. George Papandreou, Antonis Samaras and George Karatzaferis &#8212; the leaders of the socialist, conservative and far-right parties backing the government &#8212; will have to overcome objections to new austerity measures demanded by Greece&#8217;s creditors. &#8220;I come with the hope that I will not have to repeat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Environment agency becomes crunch issue in Rio talks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is emerging as a hot issue in preparations for June&#8217;s Rio conference, styled as a once-in-a-generation chance to restore a sick planet to good health. The US is fighting a proposal, backed according to France by least 100 countries, for transforming UNEP from a poorly noticed, second-string unit into a planetary super-agency. Environmentalists have long complained that Nairobi-based UNEP, set up in 1972 as an office of the UN and [...]]]></description>
